Ha, that's great!

Can I ask a techie question? I presume you're getting your costumes suggestions list from Wikipedia's "Random Article" list. How are you pulling the text and link into the page? Is there a PHP class you're using that scrapes the Wikipedia site, or what? Just curious.

Is everything sexy? I found myself hoping that there would be "childish" or "nerdy" or something else =/= "sexy."

Nonetheless I love it.

@Asparagirl We're using cURL to parse it from the TITLE of the page I think.
